The morning was spent doing chores, going to the store and making a big breakfast.
My chores are with Mama Goat and the babies. Then the chickens and all the new babies, the guineas, the geese and the turkeys.
Plus giving the dog her medicine.
Mama , aka Peppy waits patiently and calls out that she is hungry.
The kids can't wait to get out and jump on everything.
Maggie waits for the chores to be done.
We named the little buck Tobias meaning the Goodness of God.
And this little one we named Mrs. Periwinkle.
After all the chores , breakfast and walks are finished it was time for a quick nap and then off to the folk concert here in the country.
Today's concert was far from the intimate session last night with song and those around the fire. Last night was a bit melancholy singing and watching the fire. It was what a lot of us crave and were looking for. Kindness and kinship evolves from a simple fire, a mandolin, guitars and many voices.
Today was an open air full of sun concert in a field full of wonderful songs of the mountains and working farmers. Those who were early were the ones that camped out last night after the bonfire had gone out.
There were lawn chairs, picnics, blankets, and grills in the parking area with families around them waiting for something tasty. The weather was perfect, a cool 70*.
I opened a nearby town's newspaper and saw an article of the very festivities we were attending.
We needed to leave early but the few hours we saw, we had a marvelous and magical time and we can't wait to do again next year.
I dropped my mom off and picked up my glass creations we made last week. They were finished from their firings in the kiln.
My dear friend Susan's plate came out gorgeous. I thought it was beautiful.
My sushi plate and dipping sides plates. I love the way they turned out.
Plus the necklaces I made from the scraps. A start of collecting gifts for Christmas.
Dinner had been put in the crock-pot earlier in the day. I adapted this recipe . http://www.momontimeout.com/.../slow-cooker-kielbasa-and.../
I use pork ends, chipotle raspberry bacon, garbanzo beans and our canned pintos, I used a German sausage from a local butchered pig, I added a small can of crushed tomatoes, garlic, and honey instead of syrup. The rest was the same.
It turned out wonderful.
I was so happy my mom could spend the weekend with us and enjoy a bit of the country.
I am exhausted and planning on being in bed by 9pm!
peace
